Historia
Architect and family man Lee Morris never gave much thought to the shares he inherited of the Stratton Park racecourse, the multi-million dollar property owned by the powerful Stratton family. His mother had first received the shares to keep her quiet about the abuse she had suffered at the hands of her first husband, Keith Stratton. Now, much to Lee's chagrin, he is being drawn into the thick of the Stratton family squabbles as they wage a furious debate over the future of the race track.

Steeplechase jockey Derek Franklin has had more broken bones than he cares to count, but it seems his latest injury could very well bring his days on the race course to a screeching halt. But that’s the least of his concerns when his brother turns up dead, leaving Derek as the sole inheritor of his estate. It doesn’t take long for Derek to learn that his brother—a magistrate who imported and sold semiprecious stones—was keeping more than his share of secrets.

The catastrophic power of a giant hurricane can raise coastal waves 30 feet high and blow through houses at devastating speeds. For TV meteorologist Perry Stuart, however, such predictions are hypothetical, as he chiefly predicts periods of English drizzle - until a fellow forecaster offers him a Caribbean hurricane-chasing ride in a small airplane as a holiday diversion. But a frightening accident teaches Stuart more secrets than wind speeds.

The less good news is that, all these years later, he still has the key. That's absurd, you laugh. Of all the many hundreds of houses he has sold, why would he still have the key to mine? The answer is; he has the keys to them all. William Heming's most at home in a stranger's private things.

Steeplechase jockey Derek Franklin has had more broken bones than he cares to count, but it seems his latest injury could very well bring his days on the race course to a screeching halt. But that’s the least of his concerns when his brother turns up dead, leaving Derek as the sole inheritor of his estate. It doesn’t take long for Derek to learn that his brother—a magistrate who imported and sold semiprecious stones—was keeping more than his share of secrets.

Unraveling a weird plot
There is a lot of very close observations and analysis involved for the hero to ultimately unravel a rather insidious and diabolical plot in the horse racing world, a plot to disable by sickness Perative horses. Frances keeps finding ingenious corners of the horse racing culture in England as his setting, and this story is layered with the language of computer attack as well. It's filled with intrigue and it's filled with the usual acute observation of human behavior and motives that is so great in Francis. Preble is one of the best, the very best, readers of books in the world, I think And his performance here is up to his usual stellar standard.

Mystery with humanity
Sir Dick Francis writes mysteries with insight into the human heart. His main characters are resilient, well developed, likeable, and reflective. I also enjoy the British variations of common words. Simon Preble brings the story to life with his shifts in voices for the characters, excellent pronunciation, and feeling for the story! Well done all!

Another GREAT ONE from Dick Francis!!
I’ve always enjoyed Dick Francis novels, knowing there’s going to be intrigue, fabulous twists in the storyline and always a satisfying resolution. His characters are well drawn, some thoroughly likable and some thoroughly horrible as you need in every great story.
